They are your entrance tests for military and show what innate skills you have. They also give an excellent indicators of your level of practical education, common sense, and clerical skills. They qualify you for certain Military Occupation Skills.
The higher the scores the broader your choice of jobs are.
ASVAB score requirements differ from service to service. for example a Coast Guard recruit must score as high to get in CG as an army recruit who has an BA or BS and wants to go to OCS.

The higher you score the more technical job you get in a nutshell. It is broken into different categories like clerical, medical and mechanical. Each sub score tells the recruiter and placement NCO in which career field your aptitude lies.
High medical scores they will place you in a medical field. Low scores all across and welcome to cook whites. High Scores all across and welcome to Military Intelligence.
